a mass meeting of high school
girls from Woodrow Wilson High

"Go To College Week" was a cam-paign
put on by the Girl Reserve
Corps of the Y. W. C. A., of Ports-mouth,
to interest all girls in going

for a week, carrying a picture and a
write-up of each representative and
of each college represented.
Woodrow Wilson High School,
Portsmouth, Va., where the meetings
were held, was decorated with "Go
To College" posters and with pen-nants
and banners of the thirteen
colleges who sent speakers. En-thusiastic
crowds of high school
girls gave yells for each speaker and
each college. The President of the
Girl Reserve Club presided over the
meetings and introduced the college
representatives.

there will be conducted at the North
Carolina College for Women a Voca-tional
Conference sponsored by the
Student Government Association and
the Y. W. C. A. This is the first
time in the history of the college
that anything of this nature has been
attempted, and it is being done by
these two organizations to meet the
need for thoughtful consideration in
choosing a vocation.
The plans for the conference will
be presented and explained on Sun-day
night, April 22. On Monday
and Tuesday the first phase of vo-cational
work will be discussed when
Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson, State Com-missioner
of Public Welfare, will
speak at the chapel hour on Social
Service Work as a Vocation. Mrs.
Johnson will also hold group discus-sions
Monday afternoon and Tuesday
morning for those that are particular-ly
interested in doing this work.
At the chapel hour on Wednes-day

alumnae of the college, now of New
York, will speak to the journalism
group. Miss Harrington graduated
from the college in 1913, and since
that time she has done newspaper
work in the state. She is now tak-ing

Teachers Through Lectures Become

Conditions
(Continued on Page Four)
The North Carolina Council of
English Teachers held a 'session at
the college last week-end, where,
through lectures and round table
discussions, the teachers became bet-ter
acquainted with teaching condi-tions
in the state, and took steps to-ward
solving the various problems
and overcoming the difficulties that
arise.
The conference opened Friday
night when Professor A. C. Hibbard,
of the University of North Carolina,
President of the Council, addressed
the conference on "The Council and
the Coming Year." He stressed the
need of a more thorough organiza-tion
of the English Council and show-ed
the need of co-operation between
the council and school boards, super-intendents,
principals, and teachers.
This will make the organization more
practical, he said, and of more as-sistance
to the teachers and patrons
of the schools. According to Pro-fessor
Hibbard, the English Council
should have a membership of over
three hundred so that it may be more
powerful. He also spoke of the need
of an official publication for the
Council so that the plans and sug-gestions
made by it might get a wid-er
circulation in the state.
Following the address by Professor
Hibbard, Professor Howell, of the
North Carolina University, gave a
special report on English Teaching
Conditions in the State, based on
ninety questionaires filled out by
English teachers in North Carolina.
Some of the statistics he gave are as
follows:
Experience of the English teachers:
average, 6.73 years.
Total number students taught: av-erage,

AT CHAPEL MONDAY
"The Economic Principles of Christ"
Practical Today Proved by Talent
Parables
DR. HICKS TALKS AT
I. R. CLUB MEETING
He Discus*** Relations Existing
Between Turkey and Countries
of the Continent
"The Economic Principles of
Christ" was the subject of the talk
by Mr. M. E. Eagle, of the History
Department, at the chapel hour on
Monday. Mr. Eagle said that even
from a modern point of view, Christ
was not impractical.
"Christ set the example of being
self-supporting by learning a trade,"
Mr. Eagle said. He was not only a
carpenter but He was familiar with
the various problems of contractors.
He never used His miraculous powers
purely for selfish reasons, but used
them when others would be benefit-ed
by them.
In order to show that from a mod-ern
point of view Christ was practical,
Mr. Eagle cited instances from the
Bible which tell of His attitude to-ward
production. In the twenty-first
chapter of Matthew is found the
story of the fig tree upon which
Christ placed a curse because it fail-ed
to bear fruit and in the eighteenth
chapter of Luke is the story of the
fig tree which Christ commanded to
be cut down because it bore no fruit.
These instances show His attitude
toward inanimate objects which pro-duce
nothing. Mr. Eagle read the
story of the talents from the twenty-fifth
chapter of Matthew and the

Week End Trip to the Liberty Club

Dr. John D. Hicks, of the History
Department, spoke to the Interna-tional
Relations Club on Wednesday
night at 7:30. The subject of the
talk was the Relationship Between the
Turks and the Countries on the Con-tinent.
He began with the Treaty
of Serves and discussed the happen-ings
up through the Conference of
Lousanne and the would be treaties
there.
After the treaty of Serves had
been signed and put into working or-der
France and Turkey immediately
repudiated it, said Dr. Hicks. The
old and ruined Turkish government
under the Sultan signed and pre-tended
to stand behind the treaty
but the real government of Turkey
was in the hands of the general of
the Turkish army, Kemmel.
The speaker then discussed the
allying of England with Greece and
the joining of France and Turkey
which followed this. After these
countries had tried rather unsuccess-fully
to have a war, they hit upon
the conference of Lousanne. Here
the Turkish representative came with
orders which were not to be broken,
and he went away without any
treaty but still kept the things which
should have been gotten by the
treaty.
On Saturday afternoon, in spite
of the threatening aspect of the
weather, nine girls, who had hiked
the required fifty miles and over, ac-companied
by the hiking leader and
Miss Francis, and Dr. and Mrs.
Hicks as chaperones, left the college
for an over night camping trip. This
camping party did not disembark at
the promised Camp Hicone but went
in the opposite direction to the Lib-erty
Club on the High Point road.
This camp is situated some thirteen
miles from Greensboro and is admir-ably
suited to parties of this sort.
It is a large cabin built in a very
pretty location. The girls immedi-ately
fell in love with it.
The work of unloading and putting
things in order was quickly finished
and the crowd was left to do as
they wished. Most of them wander-ed
down to the pond, which really
wasn't a pond, but just water. How-ever
though neither the water nor
the weather was conducive to swim-ming,
the girls greatly enjoyed see-ing
something in the way of H20
bigger than a bath tub.
The call of eats was stronger than
that of beauty, however, so it really
was with pleasure—not to mention
hunger—with which the girls heard
what was supposedly the supper call
and their feelings when they found
that it was only a call to help with
that meal are not recorded. But "all
things come to those who wait," and
when 6 o'clock rolled around coffee
was a-boiling, corn chowder was
simmering by the fire, baked beans
were vigorously being stirred and
bacon was vying with the1 coffee in
making a fellow hungry. At a few
minutes after the hour the guests,
consisting of Miss Coleman, Dr.
Gove, Miss Elliot and Mr. Shaw, ar-rived
at the camp and in a short time
some twenty people were exhibiting
art of eating. They to
thoroughly enjoy it though Miss El-liot
is probably still wanting to know
what it was that she was eating.
It seems only right that food for
the mind was also due those present
so after a dessert of apple sauce, a
second dessert of songs of all varie-ties
were sung. The repetoire of the
crowd ran all the stages from "Old
McDonald's Farm" to "Love's Old
Sweet Song." Popcorn and candy
had been brought for the crowd by
the guests and with the addition of
marshmellows by the campers the ev-ening
was made complete. By 8:30
the guests were taking their depar-ture
while Mr. Shaw, at the urgent
request of the crowd, »sang "The
Gypsy Trail." This ended the guests'
evening, but the campers' evening
was before them in the form of
dishes to be washed, but since these
articles are seldom seen in the light
of day on camping trips, they were
quickly disposed of. Nine-thirty saw
the crowd in bed though none of
them except possibly Sam Davis lay
any claims to going to sleep at that
time.
Six o'clock found the crowd up
and it was in a very short while that
breakfast was cooking on the fire.
The threat of the weather of the
afternoon before had come true and
a rain was in progress outside. The
spirits of the party were not dampen-ed
however and the Victrola was
turned on and breakfast was eaten
to the tune of "Kitten on the Keys."
The morning was spent by the camp-ers
in various indoor sports. Some
tried outdoor recreation but the
weather was a bit too much for them
and they returned to the fire.
The end came for some sooner
than was expected, however, and
some returned to the college at about
four-thirty. The rest followed at
about five and a week-end camping
The twelfth annual conference of
the North Carplina Student Volun-teer
Union, attended by two hundred
and fifty delegates from twenty
schools and colleges of North Caro-lina,
was held at N. C. State College,
Raleigh, March 9, 10, and 11.
The delegates attending the con-ference
arrived in Raleigh Friday
and were immediately assigned to
the homes in which they were to
room, arrangements having been
made for meals to be taken in the
dining room of State College. Most
of the meetings were held in the Y.
M. C. A. building.
During the conference, the social
life of the guests was well looked af-ter
by the students of State College,
Meredith and Peace. Besides the re-ception
which was given for the del-egates
Saturday night, there was
something planned for their enter-tainment
at all times when the con-ference
was not actually in session.
The following were the officers of
the Union during the past year:
President, G. E. Weeks, Davidson;
First Vice-President, Elizabeth Fer-guson,
Greensboro College; Second
Vice-President, Ellen Black, Flora
McDonald; Secretary, Sarah-Hamil-ton,
N. C. C. W.; Treasurer, M. E.
King, N. C. State; Editor of "The
Volunteer," Mary Wilkinson, Trin-ity;
Business Manager of "The Vol-unteer,"
M. J. W. White, Elon;
Council Members, J. A. Bradley,
Carolina, and Made Hardaway, Flora
McDonald; District Heads, Clarice
Tuttle, Meredith; Thettis Smith, N.
C. C. W., and A. M. McBride, David-son.
The entire program of the confer-ence
was as follows:
Friday Afternoon
12:00 to 5:30—Registration.
6:30—Special prayer service for
the conference.
6:30—Dinner.
Friday Night
Devotional, led by Miss Pauline
"Can We Set the World in Order?"
was the question to which Maude
Royden—noted English woman
preacher and lecturer—gave a mas-terful
affirmative answer in her
lecture to the North Carolina Col-lege
students and faculty Tuesday
evening. And if the world is to be
set in order spiritual power must be
first understood and then, controll-ed,
she declared.
Miss Royden brings this message to
America, for as she said, "In Europe
we are too frightened, I almost feel,
to think straight. In America there
is hope instead of despair, and we
dare to look to you for spiritual
leadership." Despair has seized the
Old World—and America, the land
of a youth, prosperity and a chance-to-
do-better—is the only hope of
Europe. In America there is a stub-born
fighting spirit which will not
be downed by the difficulties in solv-ing
a problem. Europe has been
baffled and its hope destroyed. In
1914 she gave her men, gave them
gladly; in the hope that this one ter-rible
and evil war would put an end
to wars of the future. Europe was
willing to pay the price for the splen-did
results which she expected. But
the world is more miserable; war, di-sease
and poverty abound, and be-tween
8,000,000 or 9,000,000 men
-have been scacrificed in vain. A
generation of Europe's children is
being reared in a state of semi-starvation—
mentally as well as phy-sically.
Moreover, Europe has been
deprived of her leaders, for the men
whom she did not offer as soldiers
are the physically or mentally unfit.
Miss Royden appealed to the think-ers
of America—to the students as
those whose minds are being trained;
for America's politicians she said,
have an attitude of helplessness—
they watch, they do not act. Some
others may look upon despairing
Europe and say, "It is the will of
God." They regard peace and hap-

JOSEF HOFFMANN GIVES
PROGRAM ON THURSDAY
He is Called "The Master of Them
All" by Many Critics
Josef Hofman, pre-eminent among
the great pianists of all time, was
warmly greeted in recital at the Na-tional
Theatre, Thursday evening,
March 15. Hofman is held in es-teem
and favor by the musical pub-lic
as well as by critics of this
country and his concerts are deemed
the most important events of tiie
season. He is regarded by some
critics as "The Master of them all."
The playing of the Appassionata
Sonata of Beethoven, which express-es
the deepest passions and emotions
of the soul, showed masterly inter-pretation.
Hia technic and artistry
was superlative.
As the New York Herald says,
"certainly no other player could ex-cel
the delicacy of touch and ravish-ing
lovliness of tone heard in the
Pastorale and Capriccio of Scarlatti.
The interpretation of the Chopin
numbers was especially beautiful,
each individual piece glowing with
poetic feeling and imagination. They
were recreated with rare sympathy
and skill." His entire program was as
follows:
Sonata op. 57 in F minor (Appas-sionato
)—Beethoven.
Pastorale—Scarlatti.
MISS GRAHAM TALKS
AT VESPERS SUNDAY
Her Discussion of Inconsistency of
Christians Followed by Solo by
Alice Strickland
to the best, of their ability the gentle trip was a well remembered thing.
Miss Graham, a missionary from
China, gave an interesting talk at
Vesper Service Last Sunday night.
She opened her discussion by ask-ing
the question, "Where is the con-tentment
and joy that is in each
Christian? If we ask ourselves if
we are satisfied," said Miss Graham,
"most of us would have to shake our
heads."
Some of us want the best and all
that life can possibly give, and Miss
Graham said that it was to these
girls, especially, that she wished to
speak.
"How many of us are truly and
consciously following Christ?" Often
when we enter the church, only our
names are written down in the
church roll and nothing takes place
in our hearts. "We often lose step
with Christ by failing to understand
this first step," says Miss Graham.
We can glorify God by using the
principle that Christ used, that of
accepting God's life plans for Him-self.
We should accept these plans
voluntarily.
Miss Graham said that Christians

by Mr. M. E. Eagle, of the History
Department, at the chapel hour on
Monday. Mr. Eagle said that even
from a modern point of view, Christ
was not impractical.
"Christ set the example of being
self-supporting by learning a trade,"
Mr. Eagle said. He was not only a
carpenter but He was familiar with
the various problems of contractors.
He never used His miraculous powers
purely for selfish reasons, but used
them when others would be benefit-ed
by them.
In order to show that from a mod-ern
point of view Christ was practical,
Mr. Eagle cited instances from the
Bible which tell of His attitude to-ward
production. In the twenty-first
chapter of Matthew is found the
story of the fig tree upon which
Christ placed a curse because it fail-ed
to bear fruit and in the eighteenth
chapter of Luke is the story of the
fig tree which Christ commanded to
be cut down because it bore no fruit.
These instances show His attitude
toward inanimate objects which pro-duce
nothing. Mr. Eagle read the
story of the talents from the twenty-fifth
chapter of Matthew and the

Week End Trip to the Liberty Club

Dr. John D. Hicks, of the History
Department, spoke to the Interna-tional
Relations Club on Wednesday
night at 7:30. The subject of the
talk was the Relationship Between the
Turks and the Countries on the Con-tinent.
He began with the Treaty
of Serves and discussed the happen-ings
up through the Conference of
Lousanne and the would be treaties
there.
After the treaty of Serves had
been signed and put into working or-der
France and Turkey immediately
repudiated it, said Dr. Hicks. The
old and ruined Turkish government
under the Sultan signed and pre-tended
to stand behind the treaty
but the real government of Turkey
was in the hands of the general of
the Turkish army, Kemmel.
The speaker then discussed the
allying of England with Greece and
the joining of France and Turkey
which followed this. After these
countries had tried rather unsuccess-fully
to have a war, they hit upon
the conference of Lousanne. Here
the Turkish representative came with
orders which were not to be broken,
and he went away without any
treaty but still kept the things which
should have been gotten by the
treaty.
On Saturday afternoon, in spite
of the threatening aspect of the
weather, nine girls, who had hiked
the required fifty miles and over, ac-companied
by the hiking leader and
Miss Francis, and Dr. and Mrs.
Hicks as chaperones, left the college
for an over night camping trip. This
camping party did not disembark at
the promised Camp Hicone but went
in the opposite direction to the Lib-erty
Club on the High Point road.
This camp is situated some thirteen
miles from Greensboro and is admir-ably
suited to parties of this sort.
It is a large cabin built in a very
pretty location. The girls immedi-ately
fell in love with it.
The work of unloading and putting
things in order was quickly finished
and the crowd was left to do as
they wished. Most of them wander-ed
down to the pond, which really
wasn't a pond, but just water. How-ever
though neither the water nor
the weather was conducive to swim-ming,
the girls greatly enjoyed see-ing
something in the way of H20
bigger than a bath tub.
The call of eats was stronger than
that of beauty, however, so it really
was with pleasure—not to mention
hunger—with which the girls heard
what was supposedly the supper call
and their feelings when they found
that it was only a call to help with
that meal are not recorded. But "all
things come to those who wait," and
when 6 o'clock rolled around coffee
was a-boiling, corn chowder was
simmering by the fire, baked beans
were vigorously being stirred and
bacon was vying with the1 coffee in
making a fellow hungry. At a few
minutes after the hour the guests,
consisting of Miss Coleman, Dr.
Gove, Miss Elliot and Mr. Shaw, ar-rived
at the camp and in a short time
some twenty people were exhibiting
art of eating. They to
thoroughly enjoy it though Miss El-liot
is probably still wanting to know
what it was that she was eating.
It seems only right that food for
the mind was also due those present
so after a dessert of apple sauce, a
second dessert of songs of all varie-ties
were sung. The repetoire of the
crowd ran all the stages from "Old
McDonald's Farm" to "Love's Old
Sweet Song." Popcorn and candy
had been brought for the crowd by
the guests and with the addition of
marshmellows by the campers the ev-ening
was made complete. By 8:30
the guests were taking their depar-ture
while Mr. Shaw, at the urgent
request of the crowd, »sang "The
Gypsy Trail." This ended the guests'
evening, but the campers' evening
was before them in the form of
dishes to be washed, but since these
articles are seldom seen in the light
of day on camping trips, they were
quickly disposed of. Nine-thirty saw
the crowd in bed though none of
them except possibly Sam Davis lay
any claims to going to sleep at that
time.
Six o'clock found the crowd up
and it was in a very short while that
breakfast was cooking on the fire.
The threat of the weather of the
afternoon before had come true and
a rain was in progress outside. The
spirits of the party were not dampen-ed
however and the Victrola was
turned on and breakfast was eaten
to the tune of "Kitten on the Keys."
The morning was spent by the camp-ers
in various indoor sports. Some
tried outdoor recreation but the
weather was a bit too much for them
and they returned to the fire.
The end came for some sooner
than was expected, however, and
some returned to the college at about
four-thirty. The rest followed at
about five and a week-end camping
The twelfth annual conference of
the North Carplina Student Volun-teer
Union, attended by two hundred
and fifty delegates from twenty
schools and colleges of North Caro-lina,
was held at N. C. State College,
Raleigh, March 9, 10, and 11.
The delegates attending the con-ference
arrived in Raleigh Friday
and were immediately assigned to
the homes in which they were to
room, arrangements having been
made for meals to be taken in the
dining room of State College. Most
of the meetings were held in the Y.
M. C. A. building.
During the conference, the social
life of the guests was well looked af-ter
by the students of State College,
Meredith and Peace. Besides the re-ception
which was given for the del-egates
Saturday night, there was
something planned for their enter-tainment
at all times when the con-ference
was not actually in session.
The following were the officers of
the Union during the past year:
President, G. E. Weeks, Davidson;
First Vice-President, Elizabeth Fer-guson,
Greensboro College; Second
Vice-President, Ellen Black, Flora
McDonald; Secretary, Sarah-Hamil-ton,
N. C. C. W.; Treasurer, M. E.
King, N. C. State; Editor of "The
Volunteer," Mary Wilkinson, Trin-ity;
Business Manager of "The Vol-unteer,"
M. J. W. White, Elon;
Council Members, J. A. Bradley,
Carolina, and Made Hardaway, Flora
McDonald; District Heads, Clarice
Tuttle, Meredith; Thettis Smith, N.
C. C. W., and A. M. McBride, David-son.
The entire program of the confer-ence
was as follows:
Friday Afternoon
12:00 to 5:30—Registration.
6:30—Special prayer service for
the conference.
6:30—Dinner.
Friday Night
Devotional, led by Miss Pauline
"Can We Set the World in Order?"
was the question to which Maude
Royden—noted English woman
preacher and lecturer—gave a mas-terful
affirmative answer in her
lecture to the North Carolina Col-lege
students and faculty Tuesday
evening. And if the world is to be
set in order spiritual power must be
first understood and then, controll-ed,
she declared.
Miss Royden brings this message to
America, for as she said, "In Europe
we are too frightened, I almost feel,
to think straight. In America there
is hope instead of despair, and we
dare to look to you for spiritual
leadership." Despair has seized the
Old World—and America, the land
of a youth, prosperity and a chance-to-
do-better—is the only hope of
Europe. In America there is a stub-born
fighting spirit which will not
be downed by the difficulties in solv-ing
a problem. Europe has been
baffled and its hope destroyed. In
1914 she gave her men, gave them
gladly; in the hope that this one ter-rible
and evil war would put an end
to wars of the future. Europe was
willing to pay the price for the splen-did
results which she expected. But
the world is more miserable; war, di-sease
and poverty abound, and be-tween
8,000,000 or 9,000,000 men
-have been scacrificed in vain. A
generation of Europe's children is
being reared in a state of semi-starvation—
mentally as well as phy-sically.
Moreover, Europe has been
deprived of her leaders, for the men
whom she did not offer as soldiers
are the physically or mentally unfit.
Miss Royden appealed to the think-ers
of America—to the students as
those whose minds are being trained;
for America's politicians she said,
have an attitude of helplessness—
they watch, they do not act. Some
others may look upon despairing
Europe and say, "It is the will of
God." They regard peace and hap-

JOSEF HOFFMANN GIVES
PROGRAM ON THURSDAY
He is Called "The Master of Them
All" by Many Critics
Josef Hofman, pre-eminent among
the great pianists of all time, was
warmly greeted in recital at the Na-tional
Theatre, Thursday evening,
March 15. Hofman is held in es-teem
and favor by the musical pub-lic
as well as by critics of this
country and his concerts are deemed
the most important events of tiie
season. He is regarded by some
critics as "The Master of them all."
The playing of the Appassionata
Sonata of Beethoven, which express-es
the deepest passions and emotions
of the soul, showed masterly inter-pretation.
Hia technic and artistry
was superlative.
As the New York Herald says,
"certainly no other player could ex-cel
the delicacy of touch and ravish-ing
lovliness of tone heard in the
Pastorale and Capriccio of Scarlatti.
The interpretation of the Chopin
numbers was especially beautiful,
each individual piece glowing with
poetic feeling and imagination. They
were recreated with rare sympathy
and skill." His entire program was as
follows:
Sonata op. 57 in F minor (Appas-sionato
)—Beethoven.
Pastorale—Scarlatti.
MISS GRAHAM TALKS
AT VESPERS SUNDAY
Her Discussion of Inconsistency of
Christians Followed by Solo by
Alice Strickland
to the best, of their ability the gentle trip was a well remembered thing.
Miss Graham, a missionary from
China, gave an interesting talk at
Vesper Service Last Sunday night.
She opened her discussion by ask-ing
the question, "Where is the con-tentment
and joy that is in each
Christian? If we ask ourselves if
we are satisfied," said Miss Graham,
"most of us would have to shake our
heads."
Some of us want the best and all
that life can possibly give, and Miss
Graham said that it was to these
girls, especially, that she wished to
speak.
"How many of us are truly and
consciously following Christ?" Often
when we enter the church, only our
names are written down in the
church roll and nothing takes place
in our hearts. "We often lose step
with Christ by failing to understand
this first step," says Miss Graham.
We can glorify God by using the
principle that Christ used, that of
accepting God's life plans for Him-self.
We should accept these plans
voluntarily.
Miss Graham said that Christians
